Ricochet breaks silence immediately after major return outside AEW

Former WWE Intercontinental Champion Ricochet has reacted to his blockbuster return to a major promotion outside AEW. Today, he made his first appearance for the company since 2017.

After his blockbuster AEW debut at All In 2024, Ricochet made his return to New Japan Pro-Wrestling. Before today, he last appeared for the promotion in 2017. The former WWE Superstar showed up after the main event of Power Struggle 2024 to make a huge statement.

In the main event of NJPW Power Struggle 2024, Zack Sabre Jr. defeated Shingo Takagi to retain his IWGP Heavyweight Championship. While he was celebrating his win, Sabre Jr. was interrupted by a returning Ricochet. The AEW star shockingly took out the champion with a springboard clothesline and challenged him to a title match at Wrestle Dynasty on January 5, 2025.

Following his blockbuster return to NJPW after seven years, The Future of Flight broke silence on social media. On X/Twitter, the former WWE Superstar made a bold claim.

"Had to remind the world that I'm still the f*cking man around here."

Ricochet is set for a big tag team match on AEW Dynamite

Since making his AEW debut at All In 2024, Ricochet has had several stellar matches. He also had a great three-way bout against Will Ospreay and Konosuke Takeshita at WrestleDream, where he failed to capture the International Title.

The Future of Flight is set to take on the team of International Champion Konosuke Takeshita and Kyle Fletcher alongside a mystery partner on Wednesday's Dynamite.

The Human Highlight Reel's mystery partner is widely expected to be Will Ospreay. It remains to be seen whether he actually combines forces with his real-life friend to take on the Don Callis Family.
